Exposed Floral Shower Curtain - Black/White


reviewed by J. Stephens

The pattern, look and colors were exactly what my fiancée wanted for our bathroom. Its a very nice curtain. However, our only complaint is that its a bit light weight. It doesn't have the quite the density which we were expecting. I guess we were expecting it to be a heavy decorative outside curtain but it almost has the weight/texture of a curtain which looks good but can also be used without a plastic lining.

Reviews by : Matthew Macklin "Macklin48", MMoops, TooManyShoes, Gustavo L. Lopez

This product works well, seems durable. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the color is not as bold as shown.

I am VERY picky about the things that go in my home, and I can't say enough about this beautiful shower curtain. Even the handymen working in my house complimented it! With a clear plastic liner behind it, it lets in all the light from the window above the tub, but adds so much more color and texture and chic-ness than a plain shower curtain would. Highly recommended, if your bathroom uses earth tones.

The Ex-Cell Mosaic shower curtain is simply beautiful! It complements the mosaic glass tile in the bathroom. It is very delicate and I used a clear soft vinyl liner so it keeps its translucent appearance. Very unique.

Very nice looking. Only gave four stars as in reality it is more transparent than what it looks like in the photos. Still very nice and I do like it.

Tips to keep your shower curtains beautiful

How to keeping your shower curtains beautiful

Mold is a problem all over the bathroom, and the shower curtain is no exception. Mold thrives in warm, damp environments, such as your shower. The mold can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. In addition, bacteria can grow on a dirty shower curtain. This can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems, young children or the elderly. Keeping your curtain clean is the best way to prevent illness.

The shower curtain is exposed to moisture, dirt and soap scum on a continual basis. Both of these items are known breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can damage fabric curtains and leave unsightly stains on every shower curtain. By putting a vinyl shower curtain liner behind your actual shower curtain; you are placing a barrier between the harmful elements (water and dirt and soap scum) and your shower.

Sometimes a shower curtain that is made of fabric will also have a shower liner of fabric. Don't be confused, you will still need a vinyl shower curtain liner to protect your shower curtain. The shower liner of fabric is to add fullness to the fabric shower curtain. In some design schemes, the shower liner of fabric is an accent color or pattern that complements the overall style of the ensemble. When you are buying a vinyl shower curtain liner; they range in price greatly.

You can go with a very cheap version that will cost you five to ten dollars. You get what you pay for here. The grommets usually are not made of rust free aluminum. The thickness of the vinyl is generally very thin and prone to tearing. The top of the vinyl shower liner is most commonly not doubled over and stitched. The holes that hold the shower rings will rip easily with little use and you will need to replace your vinyl shower curtain liner.

For a little more money you can really do yourself a favor: purchase a mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner. The mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner has rust free grommets and two layers of vinyl. The vinyl shower curtain liner is then backed by a shower liner of fabric. This is no ordinary fabric. It is nylon that has been treated with a special mildew resistant substance.

The mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner offers easy care and maintenance. You just throw it into the washer. A mildew resistant vinyl shower curtain liner works well with a shower liner made of fabric. The vinyl shower curtain liner is placed in the tub to protect everything from water and the shower liner of fabric is placed outside the tub for aesthetic quality.

In the effort to prevent nasty mold and mildew; the following items should be soaked in a water filled washing machine with one cup of vinegar and one cup of salt.


* The shower curtain. Most shower curtains can be placed in the washer, however check your manufacturer's care instructions to be sure.

* The shower liner of fabric. These usually can be washed without any problem. Once again check care labels to be sure.

* The vinyl shower curtain liner. All vinyl shower curtain liners should be machine washable.

Dissolve the salt completely in the washer before adding the shower curtain items. The colors of your items should all be compatible for washing together. If not soak like items in separate loads.

Gray Leaves Shower Curtain by Interdesign


Product Features
Size: 72 by 72 | Color: Gray

  • Fabric shower curtain with a Zen-inspired leaf pattern
  • 100-percent polyester; generously sized at 72 by 72 inches
  • Design complements any contemporary décor
  • Reinforced top hem; rust-proof grommets; water-resistant
  • Recommended for use with a shower curtain liner

"This was exactly as pictured and fit perfectly with my bathroom design scheme. Other reviews indicate that some were expecting a heavier fabric, but this is the typical thin polyester you find with standard shower curtains and fabric liners (which was exactly what I expected). I would not describe it as vinyl-like by any stretch of the word.

Because the fabric is polyester, you can use it without a lining, but I like the look better when I leave the curtain hanging out of the tub, so I have a clear plastic liner for the inside. I also recommend a light, low-temp ironing before hanging, for a nice, smooth look without the folding creases form packaging." Review by By J. Parsons

"I was a bit worried at first when we received this shower curtain, since the fabric seemed like it would need to be used with a liner. However, we decided to give it a go on its own and it's been great. The fabric is quick drying, and so we've not had any problems with mildew. Also, the weight of this shower curtain is perfect. It's light enough that it lets light into the shower (which we needed since the only lights in our bathroom are above the sink) and you can see through it easily when you're looking out towards the light; but without backlighting its hard to even see the silhouette of the person in the shower."
